Volume 1: The Smoke Festival Chapter 44: The Maniac

"Presumptuous!"

Xiao Wei pulled Xie Wuyi behind him to protect him, and stepped forward to stare at Wen Yi, "You don't want to get an inch!" ”

He had always been lazy, but now his deep eyes were filled with violent wind and snow waves, and the loud words echoed in the dark room, eclipsing the heavens and the earth.

Xie Wuyi raised his head to look at Xiao Wei, feeling the killing intent permeating his body, she knew that he was really angry.

Wen Yi was unaware of this, he leaned on the chain and smiled leisurely: "His Royal Highness King Yan, this is our Xiaowei, can you make a decision for her?" ”

Xiao Wei's eyebrows trembled, Wen Yi called him King Yan instead of King Dai or King Xiangcheng, and he really had contact with the outside world.

If you can be so calm and relaxed, you must rely on it.

But Wen Yi was not wrong, Xiao Wei could accompany Xie Wuyi and fight side by side with her, but he couldn't make decisions for her, which was a hidden pain he had always had.

The heart was stabbed by a quenched steel needle, and a basin of cold water poured on Xiao Wei's head, causing his tight back to collapse softly.

Xie Wuyi sighed faintly, since she returned to Zeyang, she has been hiding behind Xiao Wei for a long time, and she can't always accept his protection with peace of mind, she can't stand this favor and can't afford it.

So, just like Xiao Wei comforted himself every time, Xie Wuyi put his hands on the back of his hand and shook it hard, and said softly:

"Your Highness, rest assured."

Xiao Wei didn't speak, and silently stepped aside. Xie Wuyi sat cross-legged opposite Wen Yi, and saw him take out a dice cup from the corner of the wall and push it to her, "Xiao Wei, check it carefully." ”

Xie Wuyi glanced at the three dice, and without looking at them carefully, he handed them back casually.

"Bet small."

Don't be too confident.

Wen Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, quite interested in Xie Wuyi's nonchalant attitude. He picked up the dice cup suspiciously, shook it for a while, and slammed it upside down on the ground.

The breathing was so quiet in the dark room that Feng Da wanted to put his face on the dice cup, but Xie Wuyi was observing Wen Yi's expression and didn't pay attention to the movements of his hands at all.

What Xie Wuyi couldn't see was that Xiao Weizheng was standing motionless behind her, with worry and pain in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.

Open cup, dice ten points, for the big.

Xiao Wei suddenly clenched his hands behind his back.

Wen Yi let out a "ah" and smiled maliciously: "Xiao Wei, are you willing to lose the bet?" ”

It's a big deal to torture to extract a confession, why gamble with him?

Xiao Wei gritted his teeth, he didn't mind Xie Wuyi dealing with other men, he just secretly hated his incompetence and couldn't carry these dangers for her. Xiao Weiqiang resisted the urge to break Wen Yi's body into ten thousand pieces, but Xie Wuyi shook his finger to indicate that it was fine. She was silent for a moment, then removed the earring on her left.

Xie Wuyi smiled, with ten percent sincerity at the corner of his lips, "Sir, women are those who please themselves, you didn't say that jewelry is not counted." ”

You can't use normal people's thinking to deal with crazy people, Wen Yi wants to cheat, then let's see who is better. Otherwise, why didn't she let Hua Feidu do it?

The two eyes met, as if a silent battle was being fought.

There was a long silence in the dark room.

After a long time, Wen Yi burst out laughing, causing the chains to vibrate, "Okay, okay...... is worthy of being a good girl taught by the teacher. Come on, let's move on! ”

Xie Wuyi put his hands on his knees, still betting small.

No one spoke anymore, Wen Yi hummed a song, looking at Xie Wuyi's pair of earrings, several hairpins and the cloak on his body fell to the ground. A long yellowish hair fell out, shining fainter and fainter in the moonlight and firelight.

Wen Yi crossed his skull-like legs, dangling the dice cup in his thin hands, and looked at Xie Wuyi with a smile, "Xiao Wei can think about it, if you lose again, you will really have to take off your clothes." ”

After losing six games in a row, Xie Wuyi did not have a trace of waves on his face, unaware of the humiliation he might endure next. She said indifferently: "Bet small." ”

Wen Yi frowned slightly, and she bet seven times in a row, without any hesitation at all, did she deliberately hide her strength or what? Had she forgotten the purpose of her desperate attempt to see him?

Maybe it's time to run, Wen Yi opened three points this time, and Xie Wuyi finally won the first game.

"Okay, good," Wen Yi smiled briskly, "Xiao Wei can ask if there is anything you want to ask." ”

Xie Wuyi's right finger slowly drew circles on her left arm, such an opportunity was rare, and she had to consider the content of each question.

"Does the gentleman still have a family?"

Wen Yi was obviously stunned, he didn't expect that the first question Xie Wuyi asked was this. Wen Yi yawned, and said with a spring breeze: "Yes, the wife and children in the puppy kennel are hot kang heads, and I miss them a lot for the teacher." ”

His family is still alive, it seems that he is concerned, otherwise he would not have survived in Jiangnanzhuang to this day.

That's easy to do.

Xie Wuyi quickly calculated in his heart, and said casually: "Go on, bet small." ”

As if she was blessed by Wu Jin, Xie Wuyi's luck improved, she won three games in a row, and forced Wen Yi to tell his hidden secrets step by step.

"Two years ago, my father was diverted in Emian Mountain, where did Mr. go to deliver the letter?"

"Hezhou."

"Who locked you up here, why didn't they kill you?"

"Don't you all know? Hahaha...... If there was no handle in the hands of the teacher, Chu Yufeng, that old thing, would have chopped the teacher into meat sauce a long time ago. ”

"Where's the evidence?"

After going around in circles for so long, Xie Wuyi finally asked the point.

"Xiao Wei, the teacher has already told you, it's in this Zhuangzi." Wen Yi looked at a certain direction outside the door, his expression was uncertain, if it weren't for the dim light in the dark room, I am afraid that many clues would be seen.

"Orβ€”" Wen Yi rolled his eyes and approached Xie Wuyi with a shy face, his eyes shining bright and full of temptation, "You help me out, and I'll take you to find it." ”

Xie Wuyi didn't say anything, she turned to look at Xiao Wei and asked him with her eyes if there was anything else she needed to pry out of Wen Yi's mouth. Xiao Wei thought about it, although there were still many doubts that had not been solved, he had generally already had an eyebrow, and besides, he didn't dare to let Xie Wuyi gamble with this madman anymore, so he nodded slightly, indicating that it was almost over.

"Sir," Xie Wuyi closed his eyes slightly, turned his back to Wen Yi and whispered, "I'll let you out." ”

With that, Xie Wuyi flipped his left hand and swept the smoke towards Wen Yi's face. The dragging of the chains in the dark room became quieter and quieter, and finally calmed down.

Feng Da rushed forward with an arrow step, probed Wen Yi's snort, and made sure that he had only fainted before asking Xie Wuyi in puzzlement.

"Didn't you say let him lead the way?"

Xie Wuyi said calmly: "He is pretending to be crazy." ”

She played the emotional card with Wen Yi without any foreshadowing, and when she first opened her mouth to call him "sir" and asked his family, Wen Yi's expression was obviously surprised, which showed that this person was not really crazy.

After all, a madman doesn't care about his master and his family.

Xie Wuyi's implication was that what Wen Yi said must not be believed or believed, everything needs to be judged by them.

Since he is pretending to be crazy and stupid, Wen Yi is still willing to gamble with Xie Wuyi, and his family is concerned, which shows that the so-called glimmer of life he left for them is "saving their lives".

The world always says that death means liberation, but the heads of those who are watching are pressed into the furnace, and they struggle more than anyone else.

Wen Yi wants to live.

Regardless of who Jiangnanzhuang belongs to, if Xiao Wei and Xie Wuyi die here, Chu Yufeng and Chu Han will be safe, and with this "kindness", they will have to let Wen Yi continue to live; If Xiao Wei and Xie Wuyi find evidence, they will be able to successfully testify against Chu Yufeng and his son, and when the time comes, as important witnesses, Wen Yi will still be able to live.

For him, the deal is a good deal.

Xie Wuyi looked at Wen Yi's drooping head and couldn't help but sneer, "I don't know who he or Chu Yufeng is a chess piece." ”

Xiao Wei nodded in agreement. Based on his observation just now, the evidence in Wen Yi's mouth was indeed in Jiangnanzhuang, but Chu Yufeng and Chu Han had not found it.

Feng Da became more and more puzzled, he blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes and asked, "Then we should let him take us there?" ”

"Are you sure he's going to lead us down the right path?" Xie Wuyi put on his cloak, moved his cold fingers, and tied his hair back up, "This person is an old Jianghu, in case he tricks us into the agency, he himself takes the opportunity to escape, isn't it a bamboo basket to draw water?" ”

Wen Yi was able to hide the evidence in Jiangnanzhuang smoothly, which already showed that he was not an ordinary person, and he was afraid that the organs here were clearer than Xie Wuyi and Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei put Xie Wuyi's fingers in his palm, took a few breaths of heat, and frowned: "He said that he had already told you, you ...... Are you sure? ”

"Almost, let's try it." Xie Wuyi replied vaguely.

She didn't tell Xiao Weiji Lizhu the song "Jiangnan Spring" recited, although she said that she no longer doubted him, but there are some things that she can only do by herself after all.

"Last question......" Xiao Wei lowered his head and stared deeply into Xie Wuyi's eyes, as if he wanted to see her heart, "I didn't expect Xiao Yi to bet on dice?" ”

Xie Wuyi smiled, "I won't." ”

This sentence made Xiao Wei and Feng Da both stunned, Feng Da was eager to ask Xie Wuyi for advice, but he didn't expect her to be a layman.

Compared to Feng Da's loss, Xiao Wei's back was soaked in cold sweat. He had a throat stubble, so he ...... Xie Wuyi, who didn't know anything about dice, was sitting in front of Wen Yi, an old gambler, just now, and played so many games with him lightly?

Xie Wuyi withdrew his hand, tapped the back of Xiao Wei's hand with his index finger, and said with relief: "Your Highness, don't worry, he will definitely lose to me." ”

Wen Yi wants to live, since Xie Wuyi and they have come here and have the upper hand, the evidence of Chu Yufeng's crime is already on the bow. Therefore, after trying out that Xie Wuyi couldn't play at all in the first few rounds, Wen Yi would naturally deliberately lose to her, sell her a favor, and disguise himself as an innocent victim.

Xie Wuyi also saw through this, so he would bet with him without scruples.

Xiao Wei, who wanted to understand everything, was full of emotion, and countless words came to his mouth, and in the end, he just helplessly tied his cloak for Xie Wuyi to hide his complicated feelings.

You......

Xiao Wei really wanted to pick Xie Wuyi up and shake it, to see how many twists and turns were hidden in her head, how could a little girl who was not yet eighteen years old be so skilled in deceiving people.

Now that Wenyi has fallen into their hands, the next step is to find physical evidence. Xie Wuyi called into Hua Feidu and inspected the dark room where Wen Yi was being held with her.

Sure enough, not only the dark room, but even the iron chain that tied Wenyi was also part of the mechanism. The chain is connected to a ratchet embedded in the wall, and the other end is most likely connected to gunpowder.

Xie Wuyi thought for a while and said quickly: "There is not much time, Your Highness, you have to listen to my arrangement." Hua Niang and I will go to find evidence, you can see Wenyi. She pointed to the bleak moonlight overhead, "This place should be close to the ground, and the fourth railing in the corner of the window is a breakthrough that can be leveraged." If we accidentally trigger the mechanism, His Highness will directly cut the chain and take Wenyi out of the window. Be careful of the ambush when you go out, you don't know that the exit is here, and you have to return to safety on your own. ”

Xiao Wei heard Xie Wuyi say so many words in one breath, and even left the way back, making it clear that he didn't want him to bargain anymore. Even if Xie Wuyi had a point, he still didn't want her to take risks out of his sight.

"But you also said that the mechanism is only activated for a moment, in case it ......"

"So you're going to be fast." Xie Wuyi said resolutely, "We must keep at least one human and physical evidence, and if we cut off the iron chain, we will cut off Wen Yi's hand, as long as we can live." She raised her head and took a step closer to Xiao Wei, her tone was extremely solemn, "Your Highness, you also believe that my father was wronged, and you also want to find out the real culprit who killed Prince Jiahui, don't you?" ”

The plain white face was close at hand, Xiao Wei looked at her eyes that were as clear as water but solid as jade, and the scorching stars rippling inside, and couldn't say a word to refute.

He turned his head sideways, leaned over and whispered in Xie Wuyi's ear: "If you can't find the evidence, you can't find it, it's important to come back safely." You...... The most important thing is that we are all alive. ”

"Okay."

Xie Wuyi briefly agreed, she threw off her cloak and walked out of the dark room with Hua Feidu's hand. After a moment, Xie Wuyi involuntarily glanced back again.

Xiao Wei stood in place, with a light and quiet smile on his face.

This is also his most sincere smile.

In the past two years, in order to cover up his whereabouts, Xie Wuyi has been very alienated. She barely said goodbye to anyone, nor did she promise anyone that she would come back, she was like a flash of light, quietly passing by other people's worlds, and leaving as soon as she said so.

As for Hua Feidu, the two of them have been together for many years and have their own tacit understanding, and many words do not need to be declared.

I don't know if it's because Wen Yi, the key person, is here, at this moment, Xie Wuyi's empty heart suddenly had a little thought, wanting to tell Xiao Wei that she would definitely return safely.

His eyes flickered, and Xie Wuyi no longer hesitated, like a light butterfly jumping up, melting into the darkness without hesitation.
